A/N: please im lowkey anxious that i already posted these (another old poem) and just cant find them but uh

~

love is in all forms of life

it is in nature

with the birds' morning calls

heartbreak is in everything, too

in predatory eagles that seek to find a mate for life

once it loses the other, it stops completely

affection sticks to your teeth like candy

it is cavity-inducingly sweet

and it lingers a while after

touch is universal

how strangers hold other strangers out of fear

how the dips between our fingers interlock with others

fingertips yearn to touch another's

mine to hers

but i cannot touch, for that is but a wish

this yearning will swing me against the bay

have the pressure mount

the waves build

until the water takes over

the tsunami washes out

and the salty tears come undone again
